OCU Film Institute - Secret Sunshine

Sin-ae moves with her son to Miryang, the town where her dead husband was born. She settles in, trying to make friends among the suspicious locals, but attracting only the unwelcome attention of a shambling mechanic. As she sets out on new foundations, another tragic event overturns her life. Jeon Do-yeon's magnificent performance as Sin-ae won her Best Actress at Cannes. This film along with Poetry, shown in the Film Institute two years ago, ranks Lee Chang dong as one of the world’s greatest living directors. More truth and wisdom emerges from Secret Sunshine than most films about faith and hope.
